How to Add Multiple Taxes or Other Charges

SalesPlay Back Office allows businesses to apply multiple taxes and charges accurately, ensuring compliant billing for Service Charges, GST, and other fees.

Understanding Multiple Tax Calculations

This feature enables precise tax calculations in two stages using the “Apply for the value after adding other taxes” option. When enabled for a tax, it is calculated based on the subtotal after adding other tax values.

Example: Option Enabled

Product Price: $100
Service Charge: 10% (Apply after adding other taxes)
GST: 9% (Apply after adding other taxes)

1. Apply Service Charge (10%): Start with the product price ($100) and add the service charge, subtotal = $110.
2. Apply GST (9%): Calculate GST on subtotal ($110), GST = $9.90.
3. Final Bill: $110 + $9.90 = $119.90

Example: Option Disabled

If the “Apply for the value after adding other taxes” option is not selected, taxes are calculated independently on the original product price.

Product Price: $100
Service Charge: 10% (not applied after other taxes)
GST: 9% (not applied after other taxes)

1. Apply Service Charge (10%): $100 + 10% = $110
2. Apply GST (9%): GST calculated on original product price ($100), GST = $9.00
3. Final Bill: $110 + $9 = $119.00
